The program returns to me, for example, for << 105 SF 5 3 / >> or for <<105 CF 5 3 />> 1.6666 ... or sometimes 5/3 no matter if the user flag 105 = 1 or =0. The program returns 5/3 or 1.666 ... arbitrarily regardless of the system/user flags. I threw one of my HP-50g and bought another. But the problem persists. Rev 2.15.
Claudio, you have a special HP-50g calculator?

You are trying to set or clear a system flag, they are referred to with
negative integer numbers. So you have to -105 SF or -105 CF

No need to throw it away.
